“Hey Greg (Norman)? I’ve Got A Gun In My Bag”. The Madcap Tour Events At Hilton Head.
This week’s hosting of the RBC Heritage Classic reminds me of many incidents that took place in the days before and during the tournament held annually in the week following the Masters.
It’s a easy 3-hour drive south-east from Augusta, Georgia to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina however, as I have reported before, you have got to stick to the speed limit driving through a number of these sleepy ‘one-horse’ towns.
Just ask Jose Maria Olazabal, who was nabbed the day ...

McIlroy: Is His Focus On Winning A Green Jacket Or Boosting CBS Masters Ratings
Is Rory McIlroy out to win a first Masters or boost CBS coverage of the year’s opening men’s major?
For the golfing purists it would seem out of character the green jacket brigade at Augusta National would agree to such a request and that is ‘Bluetooth’ a player for live on-course coverage, and also to choose Roy McIlroy to take on the role.
Surely, McIlroy’s had enough of his plate of late, and as has also been evident in the lead-up to this 87th hosting of the Masters, then agreeing ...

Ultra-talented Aussie Min Woo Lee has been knocking on the door for the ‘W’ ...
